MARGAO: Riding on their win over defending champions Dempo, Pune FC is looking to go all out to secure a win to finish among the top five when they meet Churchill Brothers in their last engagement of the I-League, played at Nehru Stadium, Fatorda, here tomorrow.
Pune FC who beat Dempo 3-2 in a thriller to spoil their chance of defending the title, placed themselves to sixth place with 33 points. They have a good chance to finish fifth if they win against Churchill Brothers and Bagan lose their last match.
Churchill Bros’ chance of winning the title is over even if they win tomorrow as they have inferior head-to-head against Salgaocar who have beaten them on both the occasion.
Churchill Bros coach Drago Mamic knows that the title is lost but wants to win tomorrow. "We tried our best but luck was not in our favour as we lost crucial matches. Pune FC are playing well and we should not lose focus on tomorrow’s match but play to the potential as our opponent will come hard on us as they also want to finish among the first five," stated Mamic.
Pune FC coach Derrick Pereira was all praise for his boys who have played well towards the end winning three matches out of four to lift the team position to sixth place. Hopefully they continue to play in the same way to end the league engagement on a happy note," stated Pereira.
